What We Do
We’re Turning a Negative into a Positive
TheBoardroom Africa (TBR Africa) promotes exceptional female talent to boards across the continent. We break down barriers to help organisations realise the benefits of increased diversity on boards by accelerating the placement of female board directors. TBR Africa connects peer-endorsed, board-ready women with CEOs and Board Executives across Africa for access to board and investment committee service.


Board Search with a Gender Agenda
Overwhelming evidence shows that businesses with more women on their boards perform better. We make it simple to find the exceptional women that take companies to the next level. Through our work, we’ve created a unique pool of peer-endorsed female leaders, and we’re working with organisations like development finance institutions, private equity, venture capital funds, and other companies and institutions across Africa to create better gender balance in the region’s boardrooms.
Our pipeline of talent, combined with a uniquely collaborative and objective approach, is driving a fundamental shift in gender balance among leadership teams in businesses across Africa and beyond.
We’ve created programs that help identify promising women and find them a seat at the boardroom table.
